V7

The Research and Applied AI Summit (RAAIS) is a community for entrepreneurs and researchers who accelerate the science and applications of AI technology. In the run up to our 8th annual event on June 14th 2024 in London, we’re running a series of speaker profiles to shed more light on what you can expect to learn on the day!

At RAAIS we have a focus on translating cutting edge technology and research into amazing products for real-world problems.

Simon Edwardsson is Co-Founder and CTO of V7, a London-based company building a comprehensive training data engine for AI. The V7 offering includes automated labeling tools, models in the loop, annotation services, and an API. With roots in data annotation and computer vision, the company recently expanded its offer with the launch of V7 Go, a software platform that uses multimodal models to automate a range of knowledge work tasks. On average, Go achieves 32% higher accuracy than zero-shot RAG alternatives.

Since being founded in 2018, V7 has attracted a range of global enterprise customers, including Insitro, Mars, Miele, Roche, and Sony.
